Huey Member Registered: 27/03/01 Posts: 1812 Loc: Hayward, CA	Date change! Now Sunday 5/23 So I'm thinking of doing a begginer's run up HWY4 for Sun, 5/23. This is a stock friendly run with the only requirement being 4x4 only. It's recommended that stock trucks remove their mud flaps and step rails, but not neccessary. We will be running atleast two trails; Sour Grass http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/CA-4/index.shtml and Corral Hollow http://www.californiajeeper.com/corralhollow/review.htm if the snow level is within reason. There are quite a few other fire roads that we can run if there is time. I'll post meeting spots as soon as I can get an idea of who is comming and from where, but for now I'm thinking of meeting at the Pleasanton McDonalds at 9am and then in Angels Camp by 11:30 or 12. This will be a great run for those learning to wheel their Xterra and wanting something more than just Hollister. So if you are interested, please sign-up. ************************ Meeting Spots & Times 9am at the Pleasanton McDonalds 6800 SANTA RITA RD PLEASANTON, CA 94588 11:45am possibly 12 in Angels Camp (at Burger King) 290 South Main Street Angels Camp, CA 95222 ************************** New communications info...

Huey Member Registered: 27/03/01 Posts: 1812 Loc: Hayward, CA	BTW, a small group of us went up to scout out the snow levels in the area and it looks like there is still quite a bit of snow above 7k feet. Slick Rock is still snowed in and Deer Valley was only clear on the back portion. It looks like it will be about another month before we can hit the good trails. Here are some pics SLOmatt took enjoy! _________________________ -Huey NCCX

Robinhood150 Member Registered: 07/03/02 Posts: 470 Loc: Mesa, Az	Sourgrass is my club's adopt-a-trail and we were just up there for the opening. Afterwards we headed out to slickrock. Here's some pics from 2 weeks ago: http://www.robinhood4x4.com/gallery/sourgrass_5-8-04 Slickrock is open on the other side (the side witht the stairsteps) and is do-able to the actual slickrock portion. However, the river crossing was pretty high, it barely swallowed 35's. _________________________ -Steve- Gettin\' Off 4wd Club Member

So, how was Sour Grass? No more snow on the ground at all? Any place covered with too much water for a stock xterra to be able to cross? :rolleyes: _________________________ Who's missing?

Robinhood150 Member Registered: 07/03/02 Posts: 470 Loc: Mesa, Az	It's a piece of cake, no snow at all. The water crossing is a little bit deeper than normal, but only up to the hubs if that. It does make finding the larger rocks a bit more challenging to pick the right line to save the diff though. My 4runner is pretty much stock, just got some armor. _________________________ -Steve- Gettin\' Off 4wd Club Member

Huey Member Registered: 27/03/01 Posts: 1812 Loc: Hayward, CA	Casper, sorry I don't have any stickers (Dave handles those). If you want some I would say just order them off our website www.nccxterra.com for now. I'll grab some off of Dave next time I see him to distribute. XTER-RAW, no need to worry about tires for this run if that's what's keeping you from going. My A/T's are fairly warn down now also. The terrain isn't too rough. _________________________ -Huey NCCX
